No thank god!

If it was then I would 100% never buy a car off him. edit: I would never buy a car off tyson's anyways haha

That's like saying "ohh you have wear on your seat covers, better be careful because your tires will go bald shortly after"

Oh, I was going to put my car on there when I get it ready :laugh:

Only because it's free and would reach a large percent of the local car people.

I would sell a car on there because there are plenty of clueless people who will buy it purely because its a skyline and has a turbo.

Just be careful because I get the impression that there would be a lot of people just trying to take it for a spin as well.

Or offer you a motorbike and BMX bike cash your way haha

I have had a CF bonnet on my daily driven Black DC2R for about 2 and a half years now, and have only been defected for it once.

I just had my car engineered. Technically CF bonnets are legal, and majority (85%) of engineers out there will engineer them in a jiffy. The law (RTA, NSW) on bonnets is that they need to cover the engine, and exposed belts. So CF bonnets or metal bonnets can't have holes/vents in them, that people can put their hands through to touch the belts. But if it's a OEM style carbon bonnet, it's fine. According to all the engineers I spoke to, including the 5 that were easily prepared to engineer my bonnet said there is no law on crumple zone etc etc that you hear - it's all rumours and lies.
Bonnet pins are also acceptable. One of the engineers said, "if mercs, jags and freaking bentleys have hood ornaments, why the hell can't you have bonnet pins that sit lower, and actually have a function, rather than being a seeing eye for those asian people."

So really, cops shouldn't do anything. If they do defect you, it'll be a pink slip. Pink slip places will clear it easy. If they ask for a blue slip, go get it engineered easy... then go get the blue slip.

Hope that helped.

This is what I found on a JDM tuning - seems legal if engineered :(

Sin was approved at Dickson with one on

However my personal opinion is if it is not OEM then don't put one on - they're s#it !!

Edit:

Pro - lighter on GTT's than OEM (But not GTR's)

Con - Will lift on the corners at speed unless it has bonnet pins

Con - CF/FPR is cheap n nasty (unless you pay heaps for brand/quality)

Con - It was in 20yrs ago. A style that should never come back (like a mullet hair cut)

Con - If it looks like CF then it attracts little boys and cops

Con - Cheaper ones with vents are for appearance and do not assist cooling

Con - When it rains the water gets in (Vented versions)

Ps. If you want something that stands out or looks like CF - wrap your existing or paint it black

    • Nice shot! They look super clean. The roof rack delete on the black one is interesting. Would like to see more pictures from different angles. It's subtle but could make quite a difference to how the car looks in profile.
